Casey White of Quarter Save and Samm Carbo of TOROcast team up to create an awesome new podcast, We The Gamers. Episode one introduces everyone to the new show and explains how things are going to work. As well as a quick discussion on some of yesterday's random and top gaming news from around the web.

This generation we’ve seen the ever growing rise of what has been dubbed the “dudebro” action genre. Now there are a lot of sub-genres in the video game world, but the dudebro genre is one that by all means is unintentional by the developer as they’re just trying to appeal to the casual gaming audience, which just so happens to be dudebros who like to shoot stuff and drink cheap beer in the process.

If the notion of Duke Nukem Forever’s impending May release seems too good to be true for you then here’s a brand new video which points to the news being actual reality. Yes, there’s no reason to pinch yourself or activate your kick to awaken yourself from your level 2 or level 3 dreams as Duke Nukem Forever is indeed coming out this year in a fashion that’s almost befitting of the character, big and unexpected.

After being the butt of jokes for nearly a decade, Duke Nukem will finally reclaim his crown as the go-to game for over-the-top action and cheesy one-liners as Duke Nukem Forever will finally be available to gamers in May. Speaking to Game Informer, Gearbox Software’s Randy Pitchford confirmed the North American release date of May 3rd, 2011 as when we will see Duke make his long awaited return to the world of gaming.

You’ve got to love the Duke Nukem franchise since despite not releasing a relevant game in a long ass time the series keeps on kicking. It’s kind of sad to see the once great Duke resorted to being a joke amongst the gaming community due to the troubled development cycle of appropriately titled Duke Nukem Forever which was killed earlier this year when developer 3D Realms closed. But based on what appeared on the Duke Nukem Facebook page it looks like DN Forever may not be dead.
